Drawer Box Cut List Calculator
Lay out repeated drawer side, front, back, and bottom panels from plywood or Baltic birch sheet stock.
Preset guide
Drawer box cut list preset
This preset is for repeated drawer sides, fronts, backs, and bottoms. It helps lay out rectangles, but it does not calculate drawer slide clearances, joinery, groove depth, or box construction details.
| Part | Example use | Manual check |
|---|---|---|
| Drawer sides | Repeated long parts | Confirm left/right pair quantity. |
| Front / back | Repeated short parts | Check joinery and finished width separately. |
| Bottoms | Panel inserts | May be a different material or thickness. |
| Kerf | Blade loss between repeated pieces | Repeated drawers compound small errors. |
Why repeated drawer parts need care
Drawer projects often create many identical rectangles. This is good for yield, but a wrong quantity or length can affect the whole batch.
| Before generating | After generating |
|---|---|
| Check one full drawer part list | Confirm every part appears in the printout. |
| Separate material thicknesses | Review sheets by material group. |
| Confirm kerf | Check whether rows are tight or comfortable. |
| Confirm labels | Avoid mixing side/front/back parts. |
Construction boundary
StockCut does not decide drawer clearances, rabbet/dado details, inset/overlay, slide type, or finished box dimensions. Enter part sizes after those design choices are made.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Entering drawer opening size instead of finished part size.
- Forgetting that bottoms may use a different sheet material.
- Multiplying the wrong quantity across a batch.
- Using labels that make repeated parts hard to distinguish.
